Because he had previously said that he would invite Yun Shu and the others to Zuixianlou for lunch, Ye Jingchen asked Chenxi to continue using her lightness skill to take him to Zuixianlou after leaving the palace.
Although he was delayed in the palace, Chenxi used her lightness skill to carry him, making them much faster than a carriage. They hurried and finally caught up with the carriage before it stopped at Zuixianlou.
Inside the carriage, Ye Jingchen looked at the child, who was similar in stature and looked exactly like him, with great surprise. No wonder the emperor dared to use a stand-in for him; it turned out he had made preparations in advance.
He looked at his little stand-in as if he were looking in a mirror.
With such a high degree of similarity, as long as the stand-in is a bit aloof and speaks less, it shouldn't be a problem to fool Yun Shu and the others.

"Your Highness, this face cannot be removed," the stand-in said nervously.
"Why not?" Ye Jingchen asked.
"We've arrived at Zuixianlou," Chenxi said coldly.
Okay.
"Chenxi, send someone to escort him back to the palace," Ye Jingchen instructed.
